My favorite watches all use the 7T32 calibre from Seiko. I have 4 at the moment. This calibre is quite accurate enough (the drift is minimum, considering this quartz analog has to be readjusted every 2 months anyway (calendar is 31 days/month). It has a second hand, calendar, a very convenient alarm and also stopwatch functions, in a very elegant package. It is the only quartz analog watch I know that has 3 buttons and two crowns, so the user interface is quite friendly. I have never actually measured the drift rate, but it would be interesting to compare the four and see how well they track each others.

Wrist Watches. We all enjoy good accurate time keeping. :) What is your favorite watch? My watch (so far) is a Casio WaveCeptor digital watch that gets the WWVB signal and calibrates itself that I bought for $50 at a WalMart - the price of one Chicago parking ticket. Less than half a second off at any time, it is plenty accurate. The one exact drawback is that during night driving, you can't read it when you need to check the time. The lesser drawback is that it is not dressy. A nice "dressy" radio controlled watch would be that Citizen EcoDrive watch shown on those adverts during football games. If it has glow in the dark hands and 5 minute markers it would be great if expensive. So, let's have it with the best watch for a time nut!
